trade. 1t is not necessary to wait for the
entry of formal complaints, since the law
authorizes and enjoins the commission to
make investigation whenever reasona-
bic grounds exist for suspecting
8 violation OF its provisions.
That the cattle market is under the con-
troll OF gigantic ring of conspirators, or
of so-called "eveners," is no secret in the
trade. That this ring owes its success to
the ccnnivance of the trunk railroad COM
panieS, through rebates sHd other special
privileges, is quite as certain IS is the
existence Of the Standard Oil monopoly
and other combinations against the pub
lie. But the operations OF this cattle
conspiracy, while generally understood,
have never been laid bsre by an
official Investigation by competent au-
thority. The Interstate commerce com
mission possesses authority to investi-
gate this cattle ring; and no better &C.
casion than this could be presented for
testing the question concerning the power

An Underground Opera House.

What Is called the Grand Cavern
or Caverns Is about one and a half
miles from Manitou. directly up the
Ute pasS--a road worn and cut out OF
the rock that winds up in the Rockies,
over which the Utes were accustomed
to pass in the old times OF thirty years
ago. In prospecting among the ledges
about thousand feet above the pass,
the present owner, Mr.. Snlder, dlscov-
cred a small opening, and by working
at it soon found himself In the large
hall that Is the commencement of a
series of rooms and tunnels that now
constitutes one Of the wonders OF the
country. AL along the road numerous
stalactites and stalagmites are seen,
covered by wire netting, and safe from
the hands of vandals. On the right are
a lot of bones, also protected by wire,
said to be those of the bear, but they
are really fox and wildcat bones, and
probably those of some other small
mammal that had crawled into the cave
to die. From this interesting walk We
enter into Stalactite Hall, where many
strange forms have been moulded by
nature. Here is deer's head, SEEM
lngly In white marble, the antlers al
most perfect; birds. trees. human faces,
and a hundred and one fanciful shapes
worthy of attention. Passing on We
reach the rotlnda, where s0me fine
stalactites pass down to the floor, FORM
ing pillars. Near by is a large room,
about sixty feet high, called, very ap-
propriately, the opera house, having
parquet and two tiers of galleries all
round. Further along is natural
organ or set of chimes. This is by
far the best in the country, and in this
respect the Manitou cavern is ahead of
all others. The chimes are set of
stalactlte formations. connected with
the wall, forming series or thin up
right slabs placed side by side. When
struck with stick they give out met
allie bell-like notes, and with little
practice the entire scale can be sounded
and tuneful chimes rung. In the opera
house are many curious shapes resemb-
ling statuary, and human forms appear
attached to the walls. From this we
pass to the churn room, where series
of stalactites and stalagmites forms
perfect churn, the newly churned butter
being represented in the stone by It's
side.
